Sorry if I've missed this elsewhere on this forum.
For the current models, aside from the expensive charge tank option, what other options are available that are practical for charging on the go? Can Zero's $600 "quick charger" be adapted to work with a J1772 connector?
Thanks

Diginow Supercharger is the onboard fast charger of choice... and then theres a few slightly cheaper external options you can lug around in sidecases.

For practical, on-the-go fast charging, look here: https://www.facebook.com/digiNowInc/posts/1660500230736662?notif_id=1528753951504562&notif_t=notify_me_page

Zero has an adapter to use with J1772, but it doesn't increase charging speed.

Personally, the only charger I trust.  Diginow>zero chargers

Almost 2 years with mine!  No issues!  Can charge from any station I have a plug for, including Tesla Destination Chargers!

There's a comparison table on the wiki, but I really should make a separate page for charging because it's kind of a complicated topic:

UPDATE: This is now a separate page:

i use OEM charger + 2 QuiQ chargers (each at 1kW) + 2 evtricity chargers for up to 9.9kW charging, in 1kW steps. it is not as plug and play at diginow charger, but it is modular and was cheap for me, and I can charge from 1 or 2 J1772 inlets, tesla stations, RV parks, and many other common plug types at cabins or businesses at 120V or 240V
